I got one at Walmart last year for ten bucks. Wasn't a sale, so give it a look.

You don't get to bring friends.
Minor tear with the box but I'm happy I got it. Surprised cause I didn't expect this for till Wednesday.
Got my MM 3DS LE today from BB. I should be happier, but I'm really starting to doubt if Amazon will fulfill my Skull Kid LE.
Yeah, I've already written off getting that. I have it preordered still, but I doubt it will end up being fulfilled.

Amazon?

Probably Best Buy or Future Shop.
Mine had as well my copy is from best buy. Pretty cool considering it coincides with my day off.

Best Buy has done it three times since Sept 2014. They did it with TFF: Curtain Call, Saint's Row IV Reelected, and now The Order. I wish EB would do it for The Witcher 3. D:

The box itself seems like something that's very difficult to ship. Any pressure on that front area could cause tearing. Mine had it.

Limited Edition and Nintendo approved packaging it like it's just a throw away.

I don't expect my copy from Amazon with the free super saver shipping to ship till Friday night at the earliest.
Mine has shipped too (Best Buy) which is a bit of a bummer because I've been meaning to cancel the pre-order but never got around to it. Now I'll have to make my way down to one this weekend to make the return.
My copy is out for delivery right now.

Give it some time.
My Majora's Mask and Monster Hunt never went out for delivery and still ended up being delivered Friday evening. Canada Post updates can be sketchy.
Mine is at Local Delivery facility now.
Mine too. This will be the fastest anything from Best Buy has ever gotten to me which I think is funny considering the game's not supposed to be out until Friday.

Anyone have suggestions on a good, decently priced, shelf for DVD sized games? I spent too much money getting these universal game cases to just have them sit in a cardboard box on a cupboard.
No luck finding a n3DS in Ottawa. There's a good deal on Kijiji...$300 for a Monster Hunter edition...but I'm not sure I like the skin, and I was hoping to take advantage of the trade-in offer at EB.
If I do the trade-in offer, am I better off trading in the XL for $100 or the original 3DS for $80? I was thinking it might be better to hold on to the original in case I want a small one at some point...but I'm not sure.

There were copies in Toronto over the weekend. I have a feeling there will be restocks throughout the week. I would just check with EB.
Just got mine:
It caught me off guard because I totally wasn't expecting to get the game right now. I guess I can see what the actual campaign length is myself now
Yeah no chance I get it today. It can take as long as it wants as I'm busy with my n3DSXL =)
The MH4U design is gorgeous. Too bad the text is there but it's not a deal breaker.
On the back, I thought I had already scratched it but it turned out to be a hair from the fur design.

I got the Order for like $35 from Amazon, so I guess I cant complain for not getting it early, but I'm still jealous

i should have gotten that. extra $20 for the statue is really good. I shelled out for that kickass Coarse Scorpion statue in MKX though.

I'm sad they didn't make a MH4 limited edition guide (or is there one and I didn't know about it?) It'd be a great toilet read checking out all the monsters, haha.
I was expecting it tomorrow, but I was startled when I heard someone banging on my door. Got mine too!
Monster Hunter would have made me miss my package and I ain't even mad

Has anyone bought from Play Asia lately?
Right now I'm considering their Fedex shipping option because it's half the price of EMS, but I'm afraid that I'll be hit by a huge brokerage fee. Does anyone know if shipping via Fedex that way is still the case? Or should I just pay the extra 20 bucks for EMS and deal with Canada Post?

I got hit by significant brokerage fees the last time I used their Fedex option, yes. Fedex actually mailed me the bill two weeks later.
Play Asia is overrated, if you're importing a Japanese product you should consider actual Japanese stores like AmiAmi, CDJapan or Nippon Yasan. Play Asia is located in Hong Kong so you're effectively importing twice, and their shipping options are not great (NEVER use their free shipping option, it is evil).

They got rid of free shipping actually. Right now, for my order, it's 20 for Fedex, 40 for EMS. Which to me looks insane, but I guess they must have some kind of contract with Fedex for lower rates or something.
And yeah, I shopped around, but nearly everything I want is on sale there right now, which is why I'm using them... just not sure if saving money by paying for Fedex now will screw me over later (ie, 50+ dollar brokerage fee).
Oh, good for them. Last time I ordered from them it took THREE MONTHS to get delivered. With no tracking. It was random as fuck, the best I got previously was only two weeks.

Subete no aware
lol, yeah.
So, don't go Fedex, I presume? Do you remember what you got hit with in terms of the brokerage?
I think it was around $15 for an order of a USD 84.90 game with USD 16.00 shipping. Which I guess wasn't that bad now that I think about it, but I was kinda pissed by how I got the bill two weeks later. Also, they messed up the delivery and shipped it to the wrong office in the building which added to the frustration. I hate Fedex now.
In your case Fedex may actually still be cheaper, but it's hard to tell.

Dope. Welp, I'm making a 300 dollar order, so I assume I'm going to get taxed anyway. Might as well pay Canada Post I guess.
Play Asia is expensive as fuuuuuuuuuuuck.
CD Japan is awesome and never charged me import fees.

THey don't really have games though. Or at least not the ones I was looking for.
